 Posted: 15-Oct-2005 10:10 Post subject: Custom Mercenary Unit (take 2) |
  |
|
An early draft of my revised mercenary unit, the Guiding Light. Comments/criticism are always appreciated.
The finances/contract were worked out with a mishmash of the systems in both the Mercenary's Handbook and Field Manual: Mercenaries. I know they weren't really designed to sync up, but I think the results are better than the sum of the parts.
Reconnaisance Detachment
Lieutenant Joan “Prowler” McGivens: PHX-1 Phoenix Hawk
Mechwarrior Terrance “Tidal Wave” Ota: JR7-D Jenner
Battle Lance
Major William “Big Bill” Anderson: ON1-K Orion
Sergeant Sutoshi “Sushi” Tarinaka: DV-6M Dervish
Mechwarrior Sean “Dancer” Polanski: CN9-A Centurion
Mechwarrior Katherine “Blaze” Douglass: OSR-2C Ostroc
Infantry
Commander: Captain Jesus Perez
Infantry Battalion (Reinforced): 343 Troops, 49 squads
Scouts: 32 Troops, 8 squads
Artillery: 28 Troops, 4 squads
Aerospace
Commander Keall “Psycho Mantis” Inmos: CSR-V12 Corsair
Pilot Rex “Ironman” Vanders: SL-15 Slayer
Standard Pay Rates
Infantry, 61 Squads, 1750/month/squad, 106750 total/month
Mechwarriors, 6 Mechs, 1000/month/mech, 6000 total/month
Pilots, 2 Fighters, 1000/month/fighter, 2000 total/month
Technicians, 40 techs, 100/month/man, 4000 total/month
Support/Administration, 30 men, 50/month/man, 1500 total/month
Maintenance, 3800 total/month
BOTTOM LINE FOR COMBAT ASSETS: 1,488,600 C-Bills/Year
Preferred Employer
House Davion
Current Contract
Employer: Planetary Governor
Length of Service: 1 Year
Start Date: 1 January, 3028
End Date: 29 December, 3028
Assignment: Retainer
Location: Bryceland, Federated Suns
Salvage Rights: Payment in Kind
Command Rights: Independent Command
Remuneration: 5%
Straight Support: 60%
Transport Compensation: 0%
Supply Fees: 15,000 C-Bills/Month
Guarantees: Advance/Completion, ComStar Intermediary
Contract Payout: 2,800,000 C-Bills
Tactics
Major Anderson prefers what some would call formulaic tactics, though they are effective nonetheless. His standard battle practice is to have Lieutenant Tarinaka and Mechwarrior Polanski lay down suppressive fire from long range, while himself and Mechwarrior Douglass move to engage closer in. He has been known to pull off some surprisingly original plans, but nobody could ever confuse him with the likes of Grayson Carlyle or Morgan Kell.
Colors
Every Guiding Light ‘mech has as stylized lantern set against a white spot at the dead center of its chest. The spot quickly fades to dark gray at the outer torso, and black on the limbs. Fighters are painted uniform yellow, a reference to the yellow bird of Japanese myth. Infantry have standard camouflage colors for the environment they are fighting in.
Dress Uniform
Officer: Officers dress in an olive drab suit, with rank epaulets on the shoulders, a unit patch on the left arm, and varying color gloves depending on the branch the officer serves in. The glove color is white for mechwarriors, gold for infantry, and purple for aerospace pilots. Boots are knee high leather, with a colored stripe down the exterior side, matching the colored gloves. Also standard is a black sash, draped over the chest from left to right, worn as a memorial of those lost in battle.
Enlisted: Enlisted men wear much the same uniform as officers, although they are issued only calf-high boots, and wear their sash from right to left.
Duty Uniform
Mechwarrior: A mechwarrior’s duty uniform varies little from pilot to pilot, usually consisting of knee-length shorts, a cooling shirt, and black gloves.
Infantry: Infantry wear camouflage suits matching the primary environment they are deployed in.
Pilot: Aerospace pilots wear an olive drab G-suit, and black gloves similar to the ones worn by Mechwarriors.
Vehicle Conditions
PILOT: William “Big Bill” Anderson
RANK: Major
STATUS: Major Anderson’s Orion is in perfect condition.
PILOT: Sutoshi “Sushi” Tarinaka
RANK: Sergeant
STATUS: Sergeant Tarinaka’s Dervish has a damaged left leg. The leg has only 11 Structure points, and 13 Armor points.
PILOT: Joan “Prowler” McGivens
RANK: Lieutenant
STATUS: Lieutenant McGivens’ Phoenix Hawk suffered a through-armor internal hit that damaged the Machine Gun ammunition bin. As a result, it can only hold 100 10-round bursts instead of the normal 200. This Phoenix Hawk also has the ECM module installed in its’ Tek Battlecom communications array.
PILOT: Sean “Dancer” Polanski
RANK: Mechwarrior
STATUS: Mechwarrior Polanski’s Centurion has had the troublesome Luxor D-Series 30mm gun mounted in its’ arm replaced with the much more reliable Pontiac 50mm gun.
PILOT:Katherine “Blaze” Douglass
RANK: Mechwarrior
STATUS: Mechwarrior Douglass’ Ostroc has a damaged gyro, adding a +1 to all Piloting Skill rolls.
PILOT:Terrance “Tidal Wave” Ota
RANK:Mechwarrior
STATUS: Mechwarrior Ota’s Jenner has lost its’ left arm. Ota had the lasers normally carried there remounted in the torso, after removing the SRM-4 and missile bin. He has also installed 3 extra heat sinks, one in each leg and in the left torso. As a result of the missing arm, any shot indicating a hit to that location is considered a miss, per the Armless rules in MaxTech.

Much more subdued than the original 
What year are you starting out in? I am guessing 3025, based on equipment. You could possibly add a couple extra mech units with out it getting to out of hand.

The year the document is being set in is 3028. I may do a 3050 and/or 3060+ version once I establish a history and other such fluff (hopefully with the help of you guys).

History
The Guiding Light as it is today is what is left of the mercenary battalion Donaldson’s Dragons. The leader of the Dragons, Oswald Donaldson, had inherited command from his father Luis Donaldson, the founder of the unit. Put simply, Oswald was a rank amatuer, unsuited for the responsibilities of command. After a series of disasters on both the field of battle and the field of business, the Dragons found themselves and several other mercenary commands in similar straits on the planet Sabik, spearheading a Lyran assault that never came. During the resulting nightmare, in which over 80% of the unit’s listed combat and support assets were recorded as destroyed, captured, or missing, the headquarters company for the entire expeditionary force, which included the Dragon’s command lance, was annihilated in a flanking sweep by the Kuritan defenders. The highest-ranking officer left in the organization was then-Lieutenant William Anderson, who rallied the remaining troops as best he could to try and get to the dropships, nearby and also under enemy attack. After fighting his way through the swarms of Kuritan vehicles and infantry surrounding the dropships, Anderson and the rest of the Dragons then had to spend a grueling half-hour under siege while waiting for the ancient ship’s engines to power up.
When the Dragons finally returned to base, they were broken, exhausted, and ready to disband. It was only a rousing speech by Master Sergeant Jesus Perez, one of the oldest members of the unit, that convinced those that remained to stay and rebuild. Eventually, after a lengthy (and ultimately successful) legal battle over liability and compensation with the Lyran mercenary command, the decision was reached to pack up and seek opportunities with another power.
Tactics
Major Anderson prefers what some would call formulaic tactics, though they are effective nonetheless. His standard battle practice is to have Lieutenant Tarinaka and Mechwarrior Polanski lay down suppressive fire from long range, while himself and Mechwarrior Douglass move to engage closer in. He has been known to pull off some surprisingly original plans, but nobody could ever confuse him with the likes of Grayson Carlyle or Morgan Kell.
Available Forces and Organization
The current TO&E for the Guiding Light lists the unit as having a reinforced battlemech lance, along with a 4-company foot infantry battalion and an aerospace lance. The infantry battalion has attached to it two scout platoons, along with a platoon of towed Sniper artillery (4 guns).
Technical Support
Every vehicle in the unit is well cared for, with each having one tech and two astechs assigned to it full-time. The infantry’s equipment is equally well-maintained thanks to the armorers and fabricators (bullet-makers, machine-smiths, etc) the unit permanently employs.
Transportation
The unit maintains two dropships for its’ own use, but often leases them out to other commands when the unit is on extended deployment on-planet. An old Condor, the Ida’s Rift, carries the infantry and other support personnel/equipment, while the rest of the combat forces are loaded into the Forgotten Ranger, a Union-class ship.
Colors
Every Guiding Light ‘mech has as stylized lantern set against a white spot at the dead center of its chest. The spot quickly fades to dark gray at the outer torso, and black on the limbs. Fighters are painted uniform yellow, a reference to the yellow bird of Japanese myth. Infantry have standard Flecktarn-style camouflage colors for the environment they are fighting in.
Dress Uniform
Officer: Officers dress in an olive drab suit, with rank epaulets on the shoulders, a unit patch on the left arm, and varying color gloves depending on the branch the officer serves in.

Perhaps if you're in a House unit or a large, well-established mercenary unit you can afford such luxuries as selecting the machines you work with. I rolled random for a Kuritan and a Davion fighter, and those are what turned up. They also happen to be the hallmarks of their respective houses.

General Information
Dragoon Rating
The unit has a Dragoon Rating of B, with 88 Points.
History
The Guiding Light as it is today is what is left of the mercenary battalion Donaldson’s Dragons. The leader of the Dragons, Oswald Donaldson, had inherited command from his father Luis Donaldson, the founder of the unit. Put simply, Oswald was a rank amatuer, unsuited for the responsibilities of command. After a series of disasters on both the field of battle and the field of business, the Dragons found themselves and several other mercenary commands in similar straits on the planet Sabik, spearheading a Lyran assault that never came. During the resulting nightmare, in which over 80% of the unit’s listed combat and support assets were recorded as destroyed, captured, or missing, the headquarters company for the entire expeditionary force, which included the Dragon’s command lance, was annihilated in a flanking sweep by the Kuritan defenders.

After fighting his way through the swarms of Kuritan vehicles and infantry surrounding the dropships, Anderson and the rest of the Dragons then had to spend a grueling half-hour under siege while waiting for the ancient ship’s engines to power up.
When the Dragons finally returned to base, they were broken, exhausted, and ready to disband. It was only a rousing speech by Master Sergeant Jesus Perez, one of the oldest members of the unit, that convinced those that remained to stay and rebuild. Eventually, after a lengthy (and ultimately successful) legal battle over liability and compensation with the Lyran mercenary command, the decision was reached to pack up and seek opportunities with another power. In the years since then, fate has been relatively kind to the men and women of the newly-christened Guiding Light, and the unit has prospered and expanded.
Tactics
Colonel Anderson’s tactics have changed little since the unit’s conception, although he now has a larger force to execute his plan with. Standard battle order for the Guiding Light is for the Fire lance to hang back and provide covering fire while Battle Lance moves in for close engagement. The Reconnaisance detachment is often sent out as a flanking force, harrassing and disorganizing the enemy.
Available Forces and Organization
The current TO&E for the Guiding Light lists the unit as having an understrength battlemech company, along with a 4-company foot infantry battalion and an aerospace lance. The infantry battalion has attached to it three scout platoons, along with two reinforced platoons of towed Sniper and Thumper artillery (4 snipers, 6 Thumpers). The infantry battalion is unique, as it has been reorganized with 8-man squads.
Technical Support
Every vehicle in the unit is well cared for, with each having one tech and two astechs assigned to it full-time. The infantry’s equipment is equally well-maintained thanks to the armorers and fabricators (bullet-makers, machine-smiths, etc) the unit permanently employs.
Transportation
The unit maintains three dropships for its’ own use, but often leases them out to other commands when the unit is on extended deployment on-planet. An old Condor, the Ida’s Rift, carries the majority of the infantry, and a converted Leopard, the Chimera Queen, carries the rest along with the unit’s support personnel. The rest of the combat forces are loaded into the Forgotten Ranger, a Union-class ship.
Colors
Every Guiding Light ‘mech has as stylized lantern set against a white spot at the dead center of its chest. The spot quickly fades to dark gray at the outer torso, and black on the limbs. Fighters are painted uniform yellow, a reference to the yellow bird of Japanese myth. Infantry have standard Flecktarn-style camouflage colors for the environment they are fighting in.
Dress Uniform
Officer: Officers dress in an olive drab suit, with rank epaulets on the shoulders, a unit patch on the left arm, and varying color gloves depending on the branch the officer serves in. The glove color is white for mechwarriors, gold for infantry, and purple for aerospace pilots. Boots are knee high leather, with a colored stripe down the exterior side, matching the colored gloves. Also standard is a black sash, draped over the chest from left to right, worn as a memorial of those lost in battle.

He has also installed 3 extra heat sinks, one in each leg and in the left torso. As a result of the missing arm, any shot indicating a hit to that location is considered a miss, per the Armless rules in MaxTech. Though Ota has had several chances to replace his ‘mechs arm, he has opted to keep it in this condition, often surprising enemies who assume the missing arm equates to a combat-inefficient machine.
PILOT: Bernard “Smiley” Goodman

Amazing the mechs that have damage in 3028 have not had the damage repaired 30 years later! Fire those techs.

What can I say? I was too lazy to make up new damage.
Curse you for holding me to some kind of standard!
